Hi all,

I have an iMac G5, PowerMac 12,1 PPC970FX, Platform: PowerMac 12,1 MacRISC4 Power Macinstosh, Memory 1GB+384MB.

I had installed Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS and it was running fine. Now I need newer libc and so on. So I wanted to install Debian 12 or even Debian 13 on this iMac.

Is that possible? I tried

debian-12.4.0-ppc64el-netinst.iso
but the iMac does not start from the DVD.

What can I do?

Claudia
